Being recruited from an important Intel customer...only to be lectured by my manager and her boss about how they knew much more about what my former employer wants and needs than I did.

And amazingly they gained all of that insight without leaving their cubes / cafeteria / gym in Jones Farm and without ever talking to anyone without a blue badge on (!)

I think it might be easier to ask for Intel HUMILITY stories! How many of those are there?! They must date back to Andy Grove days!

Tejas, because consumers will buy whatever we p--p out.

Thankfully, somebody with common sense nixed it, though far later than it should have been.

Dont forget Itanic and 20 other odd acquisitions totaling some $20B in burnt money. Also XScale and the ICG of SM. Altera will likely be the largest ever acquisition in Intel history with a worth greater than 1B.

I could go on for 50 more posts ...

Intel is a goldmine for business students looking for what NOT to do.

By leveraging Intel's brand, we can get young people (makers) to develop with Intel hardware. We can leverage the x86 'ecosystem'

Don't pay attention to the fact that it's bigger, higher power, more expensive and more cumbersome to actually develop software.

Don't worry about our failure (am I allowed to say that?) in mobile. The exact same reasons for failure DO NOT apply here.

What kid doesn't want a microscope?

I have a great idea.

An Intel microscope! Let's spend valuable people and resources getting that to market with no plan.

Replace 'microscope' with

  • bracelet

  • watch

  • charging bowl

You get the idea

Netbooks are superior to iPads. We offer a much better value proposition to the consumer with our SH1tty crippled cramped low-res computers.

The PC is forever. Pay no attention to dropping unit volumes for the past 24 quarters. The kids with their smartphones - just a fad.

We will compete with Qualcomm by developing our own inferior technology(WiMAX) that no carrier supports. We'll

dump a sh1t-ton of money into Clearwire and never know when to throw in the towel because we're Intel and we don't give up.

Boy did we ever!

Contra revenue was an Intel innovation. Stacy Smith got a promotion.

Intel is Nth largest software company on the world!

We employee SO MANY software engineers. We can write a graphics driver with 10 times as many people as AMD or NVIDIA with lower quality!

Having a dirt cheap Intel processor inside a Tag Heuer watch will make people buy smart watches. Forget about software and usability. It's all about the 'brand'

We have superior fabs.

Providing this technology as Intel Custom Foundry will kill TSMC as we take away their key customers.

We will create our own App Store (Intel AppUp) in order to compete with Apple, Google Play and Windows store.

We have a competitive advantage here because ... we'll we're Intel!

Microsoft will in NO WAY retailate by suppprting Qualcomm windows processors.
